In August, being an Indian, the first thing that strikes in our mind is independence! Yes, the word freedom makes our soul more liberal and more autonomous. After 74 years later of our liberty, the meaning of the name has been changed by the modern generation.
Freedom doesn’t mean harming our customs and traditions or demolishing peace or provoking the left-wing to fight. I do not want to state the equalities or religious riots happening all around us, but what I want to make all aware is the misuse or misinterpretation of freedom, which is witnessed the most in today’s society. As said, the misunderstanding of the word freedom is happening in all sectors.
Let’s leave the topic of religion, and let’s see the gender today. Male and female, both are similar. Just two letters’ F-E’ separates both for them. These two letters have served the women sector of our society to fight many evils like Sati pratha, but now these two letters are misused. To reveal the topic, it is feminism. It took many years for activists like Sarojini Naidu and Raja Ram Mohan Roy to take a step ahead for the women who are suffering the evils in society.
By the 2nd decade of 21st CE, the word feminism is changing its meaning very rapidly. Many women are misusing their power for their freedom. Many new era girls are comparing the nudity with feminism. It is not wrong to wear what you like and what you are comfortable with. Still, it becomes wrong when the men section is being demolished because of the concept of feminism. It becomes illegal when nudity is being promoted on the name of feminism.
India already has a shabby and shady image for the treatment of women. Still, in Indian society, we never thought about women harassing a man, a woman illtreating me. It is not wrong to save women, but the wrong arises when there is no equality and misuse of freedom.
India constitution provides the protection laws to save those women who belong to the area where their rights are harmed, where they are torched, but if these rights are used for threatening someone and still being safe is women’s right then I don’t think we a woman deserve these laws. Indeed it can be said that many women are using powers as a shield to make the victim sound as their culprit.
There are many cases where it was found that the women used her power to save herself. We can take the example of the case which got viral from a famous university which Amity. It was reported that two girls regarding their ego asked around 20-22 goons to beat two boys, and after that, they also claimed that they harassed them, but the reality was different, it was the girls’ misbehave with those two boys. It was too late till the time the truth came up as the two lost their lives.
Not only this, but many cases are filled falsely by the girl to have a shield for themselves. Such situations can have a full stop rather than having commas in filled crime complaints. The most efficient way can be the reframing of the law. It is stated that it will be rigorous prosecution of all such false cases and false evidence pieces, including the wrong investigation by police. The issue is with society, the mainstream which considers a woman to the only victim for the heinous crime.
There is an extended list of the problems which are faced by the men, including the male suicide epidemic, the falling behind of young men and boys in education, and the lack of resources for male victims of domestic violence. The only difference is that men do not have a right to protect themselves, they face society critics when they file a case like they are raped or torched, and there is a violation of freedom.
As even when a boy tries to fill such a complaint, the judiciary the law gives more benefit to the female side rather than an equal and independent judgment. Again, the women misuse the freedom and play with the sentiments of a man, and if we survey, there are many cases similar to the problem I stated. The most recent is the BOYS LOCKER room case. In the end, ‘let’s raise the voice for freedom and equality of men and let’s give the full stop to misuse of feminism or freedom or female.’
